Location	Eagle creek columbia river gorge
Created By	PDX Lesbian Network, Danielle del Prado
More Info	The forest is calling me and I am taking my camera and lenses along... Eagle creek boasts many amazing waterfalls , wild Spring flowes and all around beauty. And it's a piece of cake. The wild flowers are popping up left and rght and I would like to capture it all. This trail is amazing, however on the weekend it's packed with folks and it's just not fun. so I am going out on Thursday. Never done a hike that was strictly for taking pictures before so who knows what will happen. My goal is to capture everything possible and if I hike only a short way, that will be fine too. I have hiked this trail over 100 times and if we make it to tunnel falls fine, if not, that's fine too. If you plan on coming, please have an open mind, know that we may hike in far enough or have so many amazing things to capture on our cameras that we may find we dont want to hike in far. All depends. Please pack a lunch and plenty of water. wear layers and have protective rain gear just in case it pours. No dogs on this walk please. If you are serious about joining in, please email me your phone number so I can contact you to let you know where we are meeting Danielle P.S. Yes I walk very slowly when I take pictures
